Big deer don't get that way by showing themselves often, how many times have you said " hey I never seen that buck before!!". I would have to say one reason whitetail hunting is so addicting, you just never know what you'll see in any given day or moment.
I would be consider baiting him. But don't forget to add some pails and shovels... maybe add a little umbrella for shade. You gots to give them what they like!!!
